The #H4HC Movement
Each year, state and federal governments propose new policies and legislation that affect the home health care industry along with in-home caregivers and clients they care for. H4HC is dedicated to developing positive and innovative reforms to help improve the access, quality, and effectiveness of home health care for our nation’s most vulnerable populations.
Below are the 2023 federal priorities.
Current Federal Issues
Home Health
The proposed cuts implemented by CMS threaten access to home healthcare services, especially in rural and hard-to-reach communities. Tell CMS to Stop Additional Cuts to Home Health in 2024.
Medicaid
The proposed rule by CMS lacks acknowledgment of provider overhead costs, puts providers who serve in rural and underserved areas in jeopardy, and stresses the home and community-based services system.
Hospice
We are advocating for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to define and include community-based palliative care reimbursement as concurrent care with hospice services.
